Vital that we use a different color for strings - and green commens and bluw keywords seem reasonable 'standard'. Using either darkblue or violet for pre-processor seems to work nicely for me. >One other thing to check before we settle this: that the color >scheme prints OK, and particularly that it prints OK in monochrome. I've already had trouble with printing (in color) and this is why I've gone back to 'nursery' colors (after some experiments with more subtle shades. > If the colors are too >light then you can end up with real problems trying to read >printed output >:-( Just thought I'd flag this up before we get too carried away. Right! Another reason for using fully saturated colors. Perhaps we need to start a rationale ? Otherwise everyone's taste is everyone elses yuck ;-) Or we may have to suggest more than one scheme? If you never print and want it easy on the eyes...
